Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1985 Line 9: 0120 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1990 Line 8: 0153 Possible remains of a large barge, site photographs (1-5). This large feature has the appearance of a vessel deeply buried in the mud of a small inlet. It is orientated obliquely across the inlet. It is also visible on the 1985 survey. The vessel was seen in 2004 and construction comprises timber frames fixed with substantial iron bolts. The vessel appears to be too large to be a barge - it is more likely that it is another form of sailing vessel. (6)
